- Kaleb is not a good car napper we discovered. Longest nap in a 9 hour period was 20 minutes...followed by a 15, 10 and 5 minute nap - in 9 HOURS!!!

- Kaleb's strep seems to have cleared up, and apparently he is allergic to amoxicillin - hence the LOVELY rash on every inch of his little body (including the bottoms of his feet) and the subsequent waking up every hour the night before we discovered it

- Zachary loves medicine and can apparently open child safety caps. So, we found him munching on amoxicillin tablets because (and I quote) "I sick, so I need to take medicine" - four tablets later, a call to the pharmacy in Virginia, poison control - the best thing that your child can overdose on incidentally is amoxicillian. Lovely...

- hmmmm...oh, and lest I forget...McKenna came down with a lovely case of diarrhea about 40 minutes into our 10 hour trip home (mind you this should only be about 8 1/2 hours) and subsequently she had to go right after we passed on off ramp and then couldn't hold it at one point so we had a wee bit of a mess in the car and a very hysterical child who felt absolutely miserable for said mess, but however, did find it funny that she had to wear one of Zachary's diapers after

I am a mom to 4 children and wife to a wonderful man. We homeschool all four children, and my days are spent trying to keep up with them all…and the house…and life in general.

My passion is teaching my kids and helping other families in their homeschool journey. Working with children has always
been something I have enjoyed, and I love that the online world has provided a
way to share ideas and resources with other families all over the world. The last few years has brought speaking opportunities at blogging conferences, homeschool groups, and also homeschool conventions.
